You would love to meet our organization in a cozy atmosphere and ask questions while enjoying a drink or two? Register now until 31 August for the SolidarMed Summer Party on 9 September 2023!
This year's SolidarMed Summer Party took place on 10 September 2022 in the garden of the office. The visitors took the opportunity to exchange ideas, learn more about the projects and support us by participating in our raffle.
“I’m not someone who sits about twiddling their thumbs”
Peter Hellmold has been working as a doctor in Africa for a total of over 28 years, the last 13 of which at the rural Lugala Hospital in Tanzania on behalf of SolidarMed. The 68-year-old talked to us about what drives his tireless work and what has pushed him to his limits.
At least 6,000 young women had to drop out of school in 2020 because they were pregnant. Others could no longer attend school because their parents had married them off early. The reasons are not only cultural, but also due to widespread poverty as many parents cannot afford to send their daughters to school for long and are reliant on a dowry. SolidarMed therefore wants to improve the economic situation of parents and their daughters in a targeted way.
